Well, actually, I discovered this when I was playing with implementing a lock free queue in shared memory. I was using singly linked lists; one for the queue and one for the free list. A node would sometimes come back to the queue's head from the free list and mess things up. It's not surprising that this is well known, but I learnt it by doing. :)
Yeah, that's fair, just poking fun at Wikipedia having the exact same thing paraphrased slightly differently ;)
